NFL Week 1: PUT IT ON THE BOARD!

Word is bond.

Even typed that sounded incredibly white.

So I just realized this thread was made and I am now happy. Did I miss anything worth reading? I see Valisk is going out on a limb by picking his Cowboys to win the NFC East for the 17th year in a row. I always loved his objective point of view.

This page is pretty awesome though. I loved the westbrook lines.

Eli. Going. Down.

Carolina Panthers

* Strength: John Fox is likely coaching for his job, so you can bet this team will bring their best each week
* Weakness: John Fox is likely coaching for his job, so Sundays will reek of the stench of desperation
* Biggest Question: Remind us again where this team is from exactly?
* Intangibles: Regardless of their performance on the field, every member of this team will one day die

oh man this onion posts are fantastic

5 Surprising predictions
1. Dennis Dixon will play his way into a starting job next season.
2. The Chiefs will win 8+ games this year and become a media darling.
3. Stafford will have a breakout year but Detroit's defense will continue to suck (mainly in their secondary)
4. Randy Moss will have his best statistical season since 07'
5. The Giants defense will be the best defense in New York (which is best in the league by default)

Idk Drex. I thought the Panthers one was pretty damn weak really. Didn't even touch anyone on the team, or the team itself. Just that Fox's job is on the line, which it is.

Lol. I hope Matt Moore brings his big boy pulls ups week 1, because he'll be shitting himself every time he drops back.

can you blame them? it's like picking from the 5 fat kids for dodgeball

[Deejay]

And with the signing of TJ Houshamanooli, I don't see how anyone doesn't see Baltimore winning (at the very least) their division

Drex, please tell me you're a Bucs fan.

[Headspace]

Because their defensive secondary is going to blow?

How do you think the Giants lost last year?

About Baltimore.

[Deejay]

I was running out of shocking ideas so I'd thought I'd go for a super duper homer pick

and what heady said

About Baltimore.

How long is Reed out? 4 weeks? They'll survive. I mean look at their schedule... They get to play Pitt sans Big Rapist and their only tough games are against the Jets and NE. I like cinci too but the ravens got a cake walk this year brah

Yeah, I saw that too, and some buddies of mine are flipping out, but it seems to be mostly press. Hopefully he still stays involved as much as necessary.

Whew. Otherwise I was probably going to have a seizure from the laughter that would ensue. I like it when everyone sleeps on CAR. We always do great during those seasons. It's when people start picking us as a favorite that shit falls apart.

He's on the PUP, so he's out 6 weeks. And he's not their problem. They're starting 3rd stringers at corner. Sure, they continue to bring in big name wide receivers. Their offense is going to be great. But their linebackers are getting old, and their corners are terrible. They play Cincy twice, and Marvin Lewis is like 10-4 against the Ravens since becoming head coach, including sweep last year, and their defense hasn't upgraded, not like the Bengals' have.

Bengals weakness last year was the passing game, and that's no longer the case. Baltimores for several years has been the secondary outside of Ed Reed and it's only gotten worse.
